He candidate for the Presidency of the PP, Carlos Mazón, The round of meetings on his investiture ends this Tuesday. For now, both PSPV as commitment They have ratified that they will vote “no” and, therefore, votes in favor of Vox are essential.

Mazón has always defended that his intention is to govern alone, but Vox has also warned him that his votes will not be free. “The important thing is not with whom but for what”he said the day after the regional elections.

As if the scenario were not complicated enough, the spokesman for the PP campaign committee and vice-secretary for Culture and Open Society, Borja Semper, has admitted this Monday that the sentence for mistreatment of the Vox candidate in the Valencian CommunityCarlos Flores, it is a “red line” for the Popular Party. In his opinion, he should not dedicate himself to the “active exercise of politics.”

In a press conference at the PP headquarters, Sémper has indicated that anyone who has had an episode related to gender violence or has been convicted of violence, “in this case sexist violence”, It is for the PP “a red line”, alluding to the conviction of Flores in 2002 for family violence against his ex-wife. In this sense, Sémper has assured that “obviously someone who is an abuser” or has been “convicted of abuse” is not “a person who should dedicate himself to politics.” As he has insisted, it should not dedicate itself to the “active exercise” of politics.

Since Genoa, the territories have always been given maximum autonomy for post-electoral pacts, given that the PSOE has no predisposition to allow investiture of popular candidates in the autonomies. However, that does not mean that the preference is to avoid Vox at all costs and Sémper has always been one of the voices that has placed the most emphasis on that idea.

From the PPCV they insisted this morning that they have not imposed a veto on anyone. “We do not impose sanitary cordons on anyone” and they hope to meet tomorrow Tuesday with the Vox candidate, Carlos Flores.
